[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 2327985, member: 649"]Goodness, an old thread of mine from 2016 has resurfaced, thanks for your interest! IMHO, it still appears to be the name NINA. The needleworker used an Old English style of alphabet, perhaps working from memory rather that a chart/guide. It seems obvious that this was stitched by a not-very-accomplished needleworker. It is worked completely in a very basic crosstitch. [IMG]https://i.etsystatic.com/12842719/r/il/695968/1023005097/il_1588xN.1023005097_r75l.jpg[/IMG] That's an interesting angle! But from what I can find, the Texas town was named Nile, not River Nile, so why stitch "River Nile"? Some better photos: [ATTACH=full]259851[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]259852[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
